A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull (cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres . A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull.
The sagittal and lamboid sutures. The lambda is the meeting point of the sagittal suture and the lambdoid suture. It may be the exact midpoint of the lambdoid suture, but often deviates slightly from the midline. [1] This is also the point of the occipital angle.
At birth the frontal bone contains two portions, separated by the metopic (frontal) suture. Metopism is the condition of having a persistent metopic suture. The metopic suture is typically obliterated, except at its lower part, by the eighth year, but infrequently persists throughout life. [6] There is no single proven cause of metopism.
Sutures and gomphoses are both synarthroses. Joints which allow more movement are called amphiarthroses or diarthroses . Syndesmoses are considered to be amphiarthrotic, because they allow a small amount of movement.
